Electronique Spectacle DJR100D/ DJR100*Pros: Definitive. Has a VU and iso, so can replace all that gear with one, high quality.Cons: Bit cluttered with the per channel EQ, cant hear master in phones, no recording outs, no Dry/ wet FX knob* The 100 has no per-channel EQ or iso. Contender?

I thought about others:
Xone V6+ second hand (Too cluttered, too expensive)
New Bozak (How good is this? Ticks a lot of boxes but unsure...)
Modified old Bozak (Too risky, too expensive)
DFA Mixer (Still no info on it, so not sure...)

normally it should give you about 6dB attenuation from 5 down to 12 (clock), the rest happens below 12. So I normally mix the signal in by turning up to about 10 and then have about 210° rotation angle to mix very very smoothly.

On a log taper rotary fader the first 120° or more are more or less useless because of the low dynamics in most electronic music. Fine mixing happens mostly in the range of 30-60° rotation angle of the pot. With linear taper I can use much more.

BUT it could be another thing on mixers without input gain and sources with very different level. Never tried this you yet...

Do you really think that a console is better in that it is set up discretely?

I have the Bozak Iso-X here and promise you that this thing has taken me all the magic of discrete design. It sounds really bad (especially for its price). And that can be measured too.

I've heard the ARS and can say whether discrete or not, the thing has by far the best phono sound I've ever heard in a DJ mixer. Sound through the line inputs is imo as good as other very good brands and a bit of an issue of taste.

Yes I heard that the Bozak Iso has very high distortion, I don't think its designed very well.
I think Discrete circuits sound different, it really depends on the design and what you like sound wise.
IC's sound good too, A B test is the only real decider, blind folded even .

Interesting that the Bozak ISO have High Distortion. When looking at the main PCB it looks like the filters use simple Discrete buffers and i assumed that these was high quality FET based ones (Like Toshiba 2Sk170).

No idea, really!
I just know that people respect the (original) Bozak for it's warm sound, which exists at least partly because of its discrete topology. I might be wrong (and I'm talking about something I have no knowledge about really), but I believe it's easier to design a discrete circuit that doesn't mess with a signal's phase than an IC circuit. Sorry, I've done far too much background reading without any hands-on experience at all!
